Great cab mens shelter ther must very cosy in side ther in winter the roof tiles made of wooden bacon look nice Great video
went there 8 years ago.Used to be run by a thai woman at night , but alas all the night shelters finished I think.My haunt was St Johns wood between 1988 and 2000.Gr8 place with Les and his home made cooking.Thursday was stew night.Yummy.
Used to go in a greasy spoon cafe in Eversholt Street at Euston that was full of black cab drivers. Used to have a laugh with them
I did the job from 92 to 2021 . I was always in a few of them , mostly Warwick avenue and pont Street. They are funny sometimes aren't they. You hear a lot of funny stories about who they have had in the cab. And also a lot of moaning, the jobs gone it not what it was etc. Good video brings back memories. Be lucky mark
Thanks for watching Ray 🙏🏻
First, like and comment, that is not bad. Thanks for taking us inside.
Thanks for this!
I had a nice sandwich and cuppa at the shelter on Thurloe Place a few years back. Very interesting places.
No gambling, but there is a lottery ticket on the pinboard haha
Well spotted 😉
Something else about London that I didn't know
That's spooky, I'm pretty sure Easton used to frequent the same boozer as me many moons ago. Happy to see he's looking well.
Top bloke!
Thanks for taking us inside
Hi Mark! When I worked in Hanover Square I used to go to the cabbies' hut there run by two ladies. Tea was 50p a cup and the bacon & egg doorstop sandwiches were huge. The food was all home cooked and VFM. Guess it's not there any more as it doesn't feature in your list. I know the square was affected during the Crossrail construction work.
The shelter is still there and it would be great to see it open again. Fingers crossed once the square has finished its development. Thanks for watching!
The Crossrail works (now the Elizabeth Line) are now completed, but no sign of any change of status to the cabmens shelter there. Any trade knowledge as to the future?
If I could pick any city in the world that I could visit it would be London.
Sadly Lidija who ran the St John’s Wood shelter for over 10 yrs died the other day. Her sons taken over. She used to do great meals, Hungarian themed.
I used to go there in the 90s at night when Les and Ray ran the place.Gr8 homecooked food and a gr8 crowd.Sadly Les and half the guys that went in there are dead aswell.
I think this best black taxi driver channel I love Tom but I am find marks videos more interesting being a student of the KOL
Both great channels but different which is great 👍🏻
